Useful and fun to read, this French phrasebook is the ideal way for travelers to communicate easily and naturally. The typical French dictionary won't show you how to tell the hotel manager "J'ai dormi comme un enfant" ("I slept like a baby") and certainly not "Je suis couvert de piqures des punaises!" ("I'm covered with bug bites!"). This one does!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Most practical French phrase book,
This review is from: Rick Steves' French Phrase Book & Dictionary (Paperback)
I was just getting ready to buy Rick Steve's Italian phrase book and thought I'd review the French version. I've taken other phrase books with me in France, but this is the one I use and it is appropriately worn. Although I got to intermediate French in college, I did not learn how to reserve a hotel room. I first used this phrase book to make hotel reservations (even with non-English speakers). This book also helped me get gas (don't forget, sans plomb) and find English language movies with French subtitles (V.O. = version originale). I have also found Rick's phonetic French to be straightforward. This is the most practical French phrase book I've seen.

Excellent quick reference for the traveler, in any situation,

This review is from: Rick Steves' French Phrase Book & Dictionary (Paperback)
Very helpful. Coded according to subject (food, accommodation, transportation), with phrases that satisfy any situation, and are sufficient to communicate without the need to use complete sentences. Gives the English, French, and French pronunciation... and many travelers books do not give the latter. Of 3 books I took with me to France, this was the one I used almost all the time, due to the ease of finding what I needed, and quickly.

OK book, small and handy, might be good for off-the-beaten tracks in France.,

Bought this just before going to Paris for a holiday. Did not use it - as Parisians are really nice and were better at understanding English then we are at French. If I had to buy a phrase book again would buy one with better organization and presentation like the ones from Dorling Kindersley.
